Even without formal accreditation, I don't see the harm in someone getting an education from a Bible college as long as they're not expecting their degree to buy them a job and as long as it's not from one of these $200 diploma mills.

Is this not an admission that the whole counsel of God is not being taught in the local Churches? If it
WERE there would be no need for young people to uproot and pay men somewhere else to teach them the truth.
Maybe we talking apples and oranges. When I speak against Bible College my definition is this:
A place where interested Students go to learn more Bible truth. They pay the Teachers and for all their materials and of course their living quarters. They are not there to learn how to be a Doctor or a Lawyer.
If one is working his education to prepare for a secular type job there are other places they can go and learn. Or are you talking about a College where they teach secular subjects and have some Bible classes here and there?
As far as "slamming" anyone that was not my intent. My intent is to show there is no basis for a Bible College in the Bible. The concept of it is not ordained by Jesus Christ. So if I am slamming anyone it is those Teachers and Admins who operate something so far off. Not the young people who dont know a better way.
And especially I am sounding out the message that every Pastor/Elder should be capable of teaching the whole counsel of God. If they cannot they should not be in Eldership.
